    Where is the best place to get USB to IDE Cables?

    I know it may have been asked before, I tried searching and most of the responses are for an enclosure..

    I am after this:


    Does anyone know where I can get it cheap? Ebay is full of them for $2.99 + $20.02 shipping + 3 insurance.. Arrgh.

    $23 seems cheaper than buying a factory and building your own. I haven't seen them anywhere eles on line. You may want to try crazypc.com or directron.com. They always have different stuff. I don't know about beating that price though.

    yeah.. I guess that is a pretty good price.. Did some searching and it looks like they are ~$45-50 at other places

    I'm pretty sure I've seen those going for around that price at compgeeks.com - it's a great place to buy from and they have good prices on most items. Maybe you can look around there - I'm not sure if they have them anymore?
